On Your Own (Lengthy); Stunting 101: How to perform a One Legged Stunt

2. Then after the dip, as the base is pushing the foot above their head, they switch their grip so that their fingers are facing outward. So the fingers are wrapping the end of the heel and toe.

This helps to support the foot, as well as makes it more comfortable for the base to hold. When bringing the stunt back down, they just switch the grip back.

That's it!!

You did it!!

Happy Stunting!!

Dismount

When dismounting or coming down from the stunt, the back spot again starts by saying 1-2 and again they dip, however this time...

Base

Both the Main Base and Side Base shrug and dip through their shoulders and push up one last time to gain momentum. Then ease the stunt back to the reload position it started in.

Flier

The flier stays locked out during the dip and shrug, and as the stunt comes down she keeps her shoulders over her hips, looks down and reaches for the bases shoulders, to ease in to the beginning position.

Back Spot

The back spot during the dip and push helps the bases by pulling up on the flier's ankle. Then reaches for the flier's seat as the stunt comes down to help ease it.
